عَنْ أَبِي الشَّعْثَاءِ قَالَ خَرَجْتُ حَاجًّا فَدَخَلْتُ الْبَيْتَ فَلَمَّا كُنْتُ عِنْدَ السَّارِيَتَيْنِ مَضَيْتُ حَتَّى لَزِقْتُ بِالْحَائِطِ قَالَ وَجَاءَ ابْنُ عُمَرَ حَتَّى قَامَ إِلَى جَنْبِي فَصَلَّى أَرْبَعًا قَالَ فَلَمَّا صَلَّى قُلْتُ لَهُ أَيْنَ صَلَّى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ مِنَ الْبَيْتِ قَالَ فَقَالَ هَاهُنَا أَخْبَرَنِي أُسَامَةُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ أَنَّهُ صَلَّى قَالَ قُلْتُ فَكَمْ صَلَّى قَالَ عَلَى هَذَا أَجِدُنِي أَلُومُ نَفْسِي أَنِّي مَكَثْتُ مَعَهُ عُمُرًا ثُمَّ لَمْ أَسْأَلْهُ كَمْ صَلَّى فَلَمَّا كَانَ الْعَامُ الْمُقْبِلُ قَالَ خَرَجْتُ حَاجًّا قَالَ فَجِئْتُ حَتَّى قُمْتُ فِي مَقَامِهِ قَالَ فَجَاءَ ابْنُ الزُّبَيْرِ حَتَّى قَامَ إِلَى جَنْبِي فَلَمْ يَزَلْ يُزَاحِمُنِي حَتَّى أَخْرَجَنِي مِنْهُ ثُمَّ صَلَّى فِيهِ أَرْبَعًا
It is narrated from Abu Sha’tha, he says: I went with the intention of Hajj and also entered the House of Allah (the Ka’bah). When I reached between the two pillars, I kept moving forward until I reached the wall. Then Sayyiduna Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) came; he came and stood by my side and performed four rak’ahs. When he finished the prayer, I asked him: At which place inside the House of Allah did the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) perform the prayer? He replied: At this place, that is, where he himself had performed the prayer. Furthermore, he said that Usamah bin Zaid (may Allah be pleased with him) had informed him that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) had performed prayer inside the House of Allah. Abu Sha’tha says: I asked him how many rak’ahs did the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) perform? He said: I blame myself for this, that I spent a long time with Sayyiduna Usamah (may Allah be pleased with him), but I could not ask him how many rak’ahs the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) had performed. When the next year came and I again went for Hajj and was performing prayer at the place of Sayyiduna Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with him), then Sayyiduna Ibn Zubair (may Allah be pleased with him) came and stood by my side; he kept pushing me until he made me leave from there, then he performed four rak’ahs.
